why does every detective show have to solve murders every episode? Can't they solve broken marriages or lost kittens from time to time? I mean, jeez i'd hate to live in a small town that had more than 24 grisly murders a year.
Oh i agree campaign finance is speech. Especially since current laws explicitly state the converse. I don't have any problem with people donating whatever they want in terms of money or in kind to whatever candidate they choose. Every opinion should be represented to the best of its ability.
Except foreign interests. I do not want any candidate to be beholden to any foreign power for any reason whatsoever. I also am concerned about candidates who are simply "very sympathetic" to a foreign power's interests, especially as those interests might run counter to the very existance of our fair republic.
"the major players in one-use supermarket cameras will be offering digital one-shots by next christmas, probably on the order of grill gas bottles... pay $50 up front, swap the camera for $10 when this one is full."
Too late. They're already selling digital one-shots. There are at least two levels of resolution available, though they max out at about 2.5 megapixels afaik. The cost is $20-$40 and "processing" is extra for some reason. Since they're "disposeable" you don't get another one on the cheap though.
Do a fresh reinstall. (or read a bit more, you can add them yourself) For some reason, the new bookmarks don't show up if you've already got a bookmarks file in your profile somewhere. I went the uninstall..reinstall route since I figured if failed to update one thing, it may have failed to update other things as well.
Anyway there's probably a good reason, I'm just too lazy to look it up.
No brand can make a decent tasting diet soda. You have to replace the sugar with some mysterious other thing. But there's good news: Just like with coffee, whiskey, tequila, and regular coke, if you drink enough of it eventually you'll think it tastes good.
Examine your "quick searches" in the bookmarks toolbar. You can edit them and change the letters that cause the search. Firefox has a google quicksearch too, but i think everyone just shortens it to "g" as soon as they find out about it.
Indeed. cought that on the re-read. Still I think that the word is being abused. Under the original meaning, Bill Clinton was a neocon. Ronald Regan may have been one as well, but Newt Gingrich and the Bushs could not be described that way. I'm not even sure the Bushes could be described as (any)con. Lately it just seems like a rethorical vehicle to associate conservatives, or whoever the target happens to be with hitler through word association with neo-nazis.
See that's the thing.. you shouldn't be trying to make comments that win you points. You should make comments when you have something to say. Whether it be because you actually know something useful, have something you think people will enjoy reading, or are just really passionate about the subject.
I see it now. I was looking at everything else before, since I don't usually look at tiny-font stuff at all. aliased or not, tiny fonts suck.
It looks like it was substituted with a fixed-width terminal type font. As to why that would happen, or whether such a font even exists on a Mac, I'm at a loss. Everything looks fine on my windows copy of firefox, but still not as good as Konquerer...
Hmm. I liken this to the wikipedia "research" that's been going on. Since everyone can contribute, there are now two choices when you notice a flaw or vulnerability.
So, as an analogy, you research flaws in wikipedia articles, and you could publish those flaws in some other medium, but what kind of person are you if you leave the flaws in?
Yeah but you ignore the fact that if you wait 6-months to a year, you can buy what WAS the top of the line card at mid-of-the-line prices. Same card, just at "driven-off-the-lot" pricing.
I think the question was really, "why buy a $500 card now that will support all the new features that come out 6 months from now, when you could buy a $150 card right now, and another $150 card in 6 months when the programs that use them actually come out?"
but think about it.. with asynchronos data lines, you could be recieving the web page BEFORE you send the HTTP GET. Think of the improvements in latency!

wait, that wasn't an analogy at all. I'm disappointed.
for that matter, I seriously doubt that a *bar*-code on a display 128 pixels wide will contain 16 bytes of information.
Why do people keep saying you can't get $2 notes? Just go the bank and ask for some. They're still in circulation, and they're even still printed.
Pennies are mostly zinc.

If your keyboard cost more than $9, you got ripped off.
You keep using that word, "neocon." I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Do you seriously think the cable is all that separates you from sliding down a the elevator shaft o' doom?

Which is why I don't filter out flamebait.

UNLIMITED?? Surely you are opposed to foreign money in campaigns?
In order to be a musketeer, shouldn't you carry ... oh i don't know... A MUSKET?
It looks the same to me. except someone may have set the "minimum font size" in firefox maybe.
I blew the pictures up to double, and the halftone pixels you would expect from anti-aliasing were there.

wow. four paragraphs explaining the joke and you forgot to explain the joke. please ruin it for the rest of us.
so.. take their info, deal with the support issue, and then send a bill for the price of the OS + punitive fine + support cost.
